Scroll 


Definition:

Scroll means to continuously move up, down, or sideways through text on the screen.
 


Explanation:

If you wish to move through text on a screen, scrolling is a quick and efficient way to do this.  Windows have arrows at the right hand margin of the text that, when clicked, will move you quickly up and down a page.  Many windows also have side-to-side arrows at the bottom of the window that will move you through text from side to side.  The arrow keys on the keyboard, when held down, will also allow you to scroll.
